The final cleaning and dunking

Before the kids' departure Friday with their father, we all enjoyed a final dunking, and I a final vacuuming and skimming of the pool. The house is surrounded by fields of sunflowers in full bloom. They couldn't be more fantastic. There, lying back enjoying the cool water, or simply walking slowly in the water skimmer in hand, I revel in a view of golden fields beyond.... Wow. I think I'll miss it all when I hand over the house. I do hope the renters enjoy it half as much as I do.
